Gilbert looked at the mirror subconsciously and found out that there was a huge "DIE" written in red on the mirror.At first glance, it looked like it had been written in blood.Kisa was so scared, that her face turned pale.She took off her clothes and went to take a shower as soon as she got inside just now and did not notice what was on the mirror at all.Her scalp tingled after she noticed it.'Turns out I wasn't imagining things when I struggled and heard somebody laughing creepily beside me.'It was real that somebody came into my room and wrote that on the mirror in the bathroom.'Who is that person?What have I done to them?Why are they doing this?'Gilbert patted her back reassuringly and said in a low voice, "Wait outside. I'll have a look at it."Kisa nodded uneasily. Then, she turned around and left the bathroom.She had not yet gotten over the nightmare she just had, yet she saw the horrifying word in the mirror. Her limbs felt cold from fear.She went back t
Gilbert did not feel like explaining himself any further after seeing Kisa's emotionless face.'Whatever. I can't control what she thinks. It's not the first time she's acted like this anyway.'He did not wipe the word off the mirror because he wanted the Mullens to see it.All the Mullens gathered at the living during noontime.The sons of Mr. Mullen Sr. and their wives stood at different sides.Arthur and Jane stood behind Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr.All of their faces looked very serious, and the atmosphere felt extremely tense.Carrie was the one who spoke first as she smiled at Kisa pretentiously. "Mrs. Kooper, did you offend somebody recently, so they're coming after you?"Gilbert sat on the sofa while hugging Kisa.He looked relaxed as he spoke in a scornful manner, "Are you saying that even though the Mullen residence is huge, the security system here is crappy? Any person could get in here in broad daylight, and I can't even imagine what would happen at night. I guess som
"No... Don't say that. It's impossible for Anthony to do that. He just came back this morning, and how would he have the time to do it?"Kisa stared at Anthony.'Is it true that he only came back this morning? I have no idea if spent the night with Lea. What did he do to her?'"Heh heh. Jane, you should just stop defending him. I'm sure Mrs. Kooper looked at him because she thinks that he's the one who did it." Carrie smiled coldly.Lydia said, "It's got to be him. After all, none of us have a problem with Mrs. Kooper. There's no reason for us to do that."Kisa looked away from him and said flatly, "It's not him."Everybody was shocked by what Kisa said.Anthony looked at her confusedly.Kisa did not say that because she was trying to get Anthony out of trouble, but she really thought that he wasn't the culprit.Anthony was a ruthless person, and he would never pull such a harmless prank on her if he had really wanted to hurt her.And it just could not be the other people in
"You spent the entire night yesterday outside because of that cheap woman. Didn't you remember that it was my birthday?"Mr. Mullen Sr. was clearly mad.Anthony bowed his head down. He stood there without saying anything.Jane quickly tried to defend him, "You're misunderstanding him. He wasn't with any cheap woman at all last night. He had something important to take care of."Mr. Mullen Sr. scoffed and ignored Jane as he stared at Anthony with his sharp eyes.Anthony clenched his fists tightly. Then, he looked at Mr. Mullen Sr. and said, "Dad, why would I even want to be with a woman like that? I have no idea why all of you are so worried. I'm just playing with her."Kisa squinted angrily.'I knew that Lea fell in love with the wrong man.'However, Lea just can't leave this man no matter what. I don't even know what I can do anymore to convince that silly woman.'"David, where are you?! David..."Kisa heard somebody yelling loudly from the yard when she was still thinking t
The looks on Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr.'s faces were stone-cold. Vivian had utterly quieted down, and Mrs. Mullen Sr. asked for someone to send her to the guest house in the backyard.Seeing the elderly couple sitting on the sofa, Kisa hurriedly pulled Gilbert over. 'I can't ask Vivian about David since she's a little cuckoo. So, I have to get something out of these two. Though, I can't be too blunt; I'll just have Gilbert do it. I mean, it makes sense for him to ask since David is his uncle... But, I still have to find a way to bring up the topic,' Kisa thought."Mr. Mullen Sr., is the David that Ms. Mullen mentioned...""Yes. She's talking about the eldest son of the Kooper family, David Kooper," Mrs. Mullen said coldly before Kisa finished her question while looking at Gilbert with a hostile gaze.Gilbert instantly frowned when he heard that. "What kind of vendetta does Ms. Mullen have with my uncle? As far as I know, my uncle had always been in Calthon or abroad. He never lingered
Kisa sat beside Gilbert, quietly waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr. to answer the questions. Gilbert had asked everything she wanted to know, but the elderly couple did not seem like they wanted to answer. Mr. Mullen Sr. smoked his cigarette silently, and his face was gloomy and a little scary. "I'm afraid I'm not able to talk about that shameless and sadistic event that only the Kooper family was capable of. If you want to know what kind of immoral acts your uncle did to Vivian, you should ask him yourself," Mrs. Mullen Sr. snorted coldly.After that, she got up and left as if she would be disgusted if she spared another glance at a Kooper family member.Gilbert then turned his gaze to Mr. Mullen Sr., who was smoking as he asked with a cold smile, "Do you know why I wanted to snatch your woman away from you?" Gilbert sat upright and did not say a word while he looked at Mr. Mullen Sr. quietly with a cold and dark gaze. Mr. Mullen Sr. puffed out rings of smoke and snorted, "It wasn'
"Admit it, you've been hiding things from me," said the man. His voice was warm and calm, but it made her feel oppressed. Compared to how he always yelled at her, his gentle yet cold demeanor was even more terrifying.Kisa held onto her own hands and said, "I don't know what you're talking about.""Oh, you don't?" Gilbert pursed his lips and smiled. The smile sent a chill down her spine. The man straightened up and slowly walked toward Kisa as she stepped back subconsciously.The bed occupied most of the room, so as she backed away, she reached the side of the bed. The back of Kisa's knee accidentally bumped against the edge of the bed, and she fell onto it as the man approached her. The bed was soft, and she bounced twice on it. Gilbert came closer, bent his back a little with one hand supporting him on the mattress, and stroked Kisa's soft hair with the other. "Do you need a quick reminder?" He asked.Kisa did not like how calm and collected he was, even though it was clear that
Kisa was taken aback. She then realized the cigarette in his hand was stretched out of the window as if he was afraid of burning her. "Then, just smoke. No one is stopping you."Gilbert stared at her for a few seconds and glanced at her belly. 'Ugh. I have got to quit smoking.' The man tugged on his tie, as he was a little annoyed. Then, he stubbed out his cigarette."Why did you do that? It's not like I can't inhale it right now," Kisa stared at him in a daze and said. 'What is wrong with this man? When my health was at risk back then, he could not stop smoking in front of me. He would even deliberately puff out the smoke to my face. Now that I'm fine, he's suddenly being considerate. He's so fake,' Kisa thought.She tried to change the topic and asked for the third time, "Did your uncle actually send a letter to grandma?"Gilbert stared at her with a playful demeanor and replied, "Didn't you say you weren't interested in my uncle's affairs? Why are you getting so worked up?"'Uh
